REGARDING beet-raising !. f. Morrison,

man IS follows:
"To raise beets successfully the soil
should be rich enough for a frst-class
garden, and as free of weeds and trash as
possible. Plow deep, make fine and mel

King Kalakaua's little kingdom in the
Pacific is at present the centre of a good
deal of interest. England has just sent two
war vessels to keep watch of it, and Germa-
ny and the United States are turning their
eyes in that direction. The little kingdom is
apparently threatened with revolution
with the object Of deposing the King and es-
tablishing a Republic. The natives are well
satisfied with the present government, and
have no desire for change. The rebellous
sentiment is largely worked up by foreign
ers, who see, or think they see, something to
be made for their own pockets by an over
turn. Claus Spreckels, the sugar king of the
Pacific coast, is said to be one of the chief
conspirators against Kalakaua. Spreckes
for long time dictated the Kings policy
and he and the monarch were on the best of
terms. But finally the King became FESTIVE
at being the puppet of Spreckels, and de-
clared his independence. This brought on
quarrel Immediately, Spreckels returned the
decorations the King had conferred upon
him, and in various ways took pains to let
the King understand that henceforth the
present government would get no support
from him.
This is one story. The other story is that
Kalakaua's government has become exceed
ingly corrupt, and that large part of the
natives, as well as the foreigners, are dis
gusted with it. This story gets support from
the Honolulu Gazette. which charges the
King and his ministers with entering into
Illegal contracts in the face of the law which
they have sworn to uphold, and saws in so
many words that the King is a bribe-taker
On the other hand the Honolulu Advertiser
says the whole agitation is confined 70 a
small but persistent and noisy fraction of
this foreign element. There is NOT
a ripple on the surface Of the real mass of
the constituency, and true observers Of the
condition Of Hawaii will not be carried away
by the heated discussions inspired in a sa-
loon or at a street corner"
The State department has no information
that leads it to believe that trouble is at
hand. But evidently the English authori-
thorities have had something to create UNI
easiness, else they would not have ordered
two war vessels to the islands. If there is to
be breaking up at Hawaii our government

JEFF Davis pronounces the letter in regard
to the battle flags attributed to him which
recently appeared in print a forgery. He
says the views expressed by him in the spu-
rious letter are precisely the reverse of those
actually entertained by him. Mr.. Davis
says that as the State troops were all mus
tered into the service of the United States
the battle flags they captured belong to the
nation, and cannot be surrendered except by
act of Congress. This is undoubtedly the
correct view. 1t almost looks as if Mr..
Cleveland might improve his advisers by re-
firing some of the present ones and substi-
tuting Jefferson Davis.

The men who wrecked the Fidelity bank
were thieves from way back. They were
formerly connected with the Third National
bank Of Cincinnati and proved defaulters,
but their friends hushed the matter up and
made good the deficit. But they all had
snowy qualities-they were in common par
lance 'smart"-and when they set up the
Fidelity bank they got plenty Of business
Probably good many Of the depositers did
not have very high opinion of their hon
esty, but expected that they would make up
in smartness what they lacked in integrity
These folks have now learned 10 their sor-
row that smartness is not a good substitute
for honesty. The lesson viii probably be
worth something to them, and it ought to be
valuable to the tens Of thousands Of others
who are accustomed to regard rogues with
admiration if they happen to be smart
rogues.

The strike of the Bricklayers' Union oil
Chicago has collapsed. 1t deserved its fate
1t was not movement to remove an injus-
tice, but to create one. The workmen were
not dissatisfied with their wages or the other
terms Of employment. The purpose of the
struggle was to compel the employees to
pledge themselves to hire only certain class
of workmen-that is, workmen that belonged
to the union, In other words il was a strug-
gle to put into the hands of certain men
monopoly of employment. The engineers of
the strike were trying to corner the labor
market, just as bloated monopolists try to
corner the wheat market. One performance
is quite as immoral as the other. The prin-
cipal difference is that in the latter case
most of the punishment falls upon the
guilty, while in the former large part of it
is inflicted on the innocent.

Turn the Pigs Out to Pasture.

The Baltimore Sun says that pigs as
we'll as COWS should be turned out to
pasture, and gives the reasons why, as
follows
He is wise farmer who provides
plenty of pasture for his hogs in summer.
The hog is entitled to grass in summer
as much so as the cow, and will profit
by it equally as well. In his wild or
natural state he lives during the entire
year upon such food as he can pick up
grass in summer, and mast, roots and
grubs in winter. But in his domesti-
Gated state his choice of food is more
limited, on account of the less range al
lowed him, and he therefore needs some
thing more. Many farmers pay very
little attention to what food their hogs
get until fattcning time, thinking that
until then all that is necessary is to give
them barely enough to keep them alive,
when they are impatient to stuff them
with all the corn they will eat. The
tendency of corn diet is to produce fat
and to heat the system. and is, therefore,
very suitable food in winter, or for the
final preparation of the animals for
market; but young, growing hogs need
q more bulky as we'll as a more cooling
and loosening diet in summer, not only
the better to preserve their health, but
to distend their stomachs, and build up
bone and muscle to enable them to di-
gest more food and carry more weight of
flesh than when confined exclusively to
corn"

Hens and Hen-Houscs.

1t is well to examine the nest and the
eggs when the hen is off feeding and
busting, and if one of the eggs should
happen to be broken, remove it and
cleanse the other eggs in water at about
blood-heat, freshcn up the nest, and
biddy will be thankful to you for such
unobtrusive kindness. The German
to0n Telegraph also says: Spray the hen
houses thoroughly with Kerosene. This
is better and cheaper than whitewash.
A spraying bellows will soon pay for
itself. The spray penetratcs every crack
and crevicc, and is so fine that a very
small quantity of kcroscnse serves for a
given surface. This method of cleans
ing hcn-houses is cheap and effectual.

A Pneumatic Tube to Europe.

Col. J. H. Pierce, of Saithington, who
has been studying the use of pneu-
matte tubes, has reached apoint at which
he hopes to show that tube across the
Atlantic can be used. Following . q
description of the apparatus as he con-
ceives it: The tubes will always be in
couples, with the currents Of air in one
tube always moving in an opposite direc-
ton from the other. The heaviest can
non will serve to illustrate the tube. A
car takes the place of the charge, the
tube to be indefinitely continuous and
the speed of the car to be governed by
the rapidity with whichit can be forced
through. Time is required to establish
q current of air flowing with great swift
ness through q tube perhaps thousands
of miles in length, but when once
created the motion will be nearly uni
form. The speed of the current may be
made as great as may be desired by u.s.
ing the steam driver fans employed IN
blast furnaces. Niagara Falls could drive
blast fans and furnish motive power to
keep in motion the trains to connect this
continent with the old world. The tenn
perature within the tube may be regu-
lated by passing blasts of air entering
the tube through furnaces or over ice.
The speed attainable may reach ], 600
miles an hour. The tube lining and car
exterior would be of polished steel with
corrugated sides matching, with wheels
provided with anti-friction bearings.
The speed, owing to the curvature OF the
earth's surface, will tend to overcome all
weight and the pressure will be upon the
upper part of the tube; thus there is
scarcely any limit to the speed attainable:
The inventions consist in the details OF
the work. C0urant.

Tho Eleventh Hour.

'The thief on the cross was saved at
the eleventh hour, you know" This IS
often said to US by those who are 'put-
ting off," It isqulte true that one thief
was saved at the eleventh hour, but it is
equally true that the other thief was
lost at the same hour. People do not
take account of this. But even keeping
the lost thief out of sight, we see moth
ing in the case of the one who was saved
to encourage procrastination. He was
late certainly, but there is no evidence
to show that he had ever put off saliva
ton. On the other hand, the proba.
bility is, from the circumstance of his
wild life, that he had never before had
the chance of rejecting Christ That
marks mighty difference between him
and SO many in our midst who are from
day to day shutting the Son OF God out
of their hearts.
